Novel membranes based on biopolymers were developed for pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol by employing surface and bulk modifications, with improvements in transport characteristics observed. The introduction of fullerenol and cross-linking agents, as well as layer-by-layer deposition of polyelectrolytes on supported membrane surface, led to enhanced permeation flux but with lower selectivity.
Membrane methods, especially pervaporation, are quickly growing up. In line with that, effective membrane materials based on biopolymers are required for the industrially significant mixtures separation. To essentially improve membrane transport characteristics, the application of the surface or/and bulk modifications can be carried out. In the present study, novel dense and supported membranes based on hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)/sodium alginate (SA) were developed for pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol using several approaches: (1) the selection of the optimal ratio of polymers, (2) the introduction of fullerenol in blend polymer matrix, (3) the selection of the optimal cross-linking agent for the membranes, (4) the application of layer-by-layer deposition of polyelectrolytes on supported membrane surface (poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and PSS/SA). Structural and physicochemical characteristics of the membranes were analyzed by different methods. A cross-linked supported membrane based on HEC/SA/fullerenol (5%) composite possessed the following transport characteristics in pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol (12-50 wt.% water): 0.42-1.72 kg/(m(2)h) permeation flux, and 77.8-99.99 wt.% water content in the permeate. The surface modification of this membrane with 5 bilayers of PSS/PAH and PSS/SA resulted in the increase of permeation flux up to 0.47-3.0 and 0.46-1.9 kg/(m(2)h), respectively, with lower selectivity.
